4-Star Caribbean Resort with Eco-Tours and Private Island

Near the tiny fishing town of Monkey Village, howler monkeys can be heard for up to 3 miles through mangrove forests and across lagoon waters. You might even spot one of the dark-brown primates swinging by its tail in the forest canopy overhead during a 12-mile-long Monkey River tour from The Placencia, a 4-star resort on Belize’s Placencia Peninsula. Set in a 6,500-acre gated community, The Placencia features upscale accommodations amid untamed jungle surroundings and idyllic beaches along the Caribbean Sea.

The resort’s eco tours are designed to give you an up-close look at the exotic wildlife and sprawling forests of Belize. Two of this getaway's options come with a half-day snorkeling tour of a coral reef, led by a PADI-certified guide.

Once you’ve settled in to a spacious junior suite, there’s plenty to do—go kayaking in the Caribbean, enjoy a Mayan-inspired treatment at the spa, or spot a puma at the nearby Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary (extra fees may apply).

In addition to the swim-up bar in the hotel’s pool—one of the country’s largest—the resort offers three onsite restaurants. At Capriccio, chefs jazz up traditional Italian dishes with local Belizean creole recipes and vegetables, herbs, and organic fruits harvested from The Placencia's own garden. From the restaurant's 9,000-bottle cellar, you'll have no trouble finding a glass of white that pairs perfectly with a sautéed fillet of local, fresh-caught fish. The Over the Water Bar and Grill also serves fresh seafood.

Belize: Barrier Reefs, Unspoiled Forests, and Punta Rock

Located east of Guatemala and south of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Belize has designated more than 40% of its land as protected parks and wildlife reserves. This unspoiled terrain presents opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, kayaking, diving, and other outdoor activities. Along the coast, the Belize Barrier Reef—the Western Hemisphere’s longest reef and the world’s second largest—spans 185 miles and brims with reef sharks, loggerhead turtles, and moray eel.

A day trip to Dangriga, southern Belize’s second-largest town (located about 90 minutes north of Placencia), will help demystify creole, mestizo, and Mayan cultures. Dangriga is the birthplace of punta rock, a lively percussion-heavy musical style with some calypso influence. Ask around town about the few dance clubs where you might catch a live show, or at the very least, a cold Belikin beer. Because the official language of the country is English, you should have no problem communicating along the way.
